LIVING LIFE AND LEARNING ALL I CAN ALONG THE WAY
I have an enemy. An enemy encroaching on my territory and trying to take over. Poisoning those within reach and advancing position every time I look. My enemy’s name? Alliaria petiolata. Otherwise known as: garlic mustard. As one of my aunts once put it, with a name like that, it’s no wonder it’s an invasive,…
As we ring in the New Year, I want to reflect a bit on this past year. In 2023, I didn’t make a New Year’s resolution, but I did pick a Bible verse that I put next to my bed so that it could be a reminder for me throughout the year. It was from…
I have a story to tell. It does not have a happy ending. But, perhaps, it has no ending at all. Perhaps we are still in the middle of the story, and this is just the hard part. This is the story of the past seven years, which I will share in segments over a…

I just finally gave away my 14lb bowling ball from high school. I can’t bowl at all now, let alone with that thing! There was a sermon I heard at church recently about unmet expectations. Sometimes (okay, more like always!) we expect one thing out of life and before we know it, we find ourselves in a place that…
A while back I posted about trying to memorize the book of James from the Bible. I’m still chugging along, with several others, but I must say that getting through chapter 2 was much more difficult than chapter 1, for whatever reason. You can view my post of James 1 in Photos here. As we…
